Common Applications

The B-AM5-RB is a direct replacement for the stock plastic AM5 retention frame, machined from aluminum alloy to 75 x 56 x 7.7 mm. It distributes mounting pressure evenly across the integrated heat spreader of AM5 processors, reducing the IHS bowing that can occur with heavy CPU coolers and improving cold-plate contact for both air and water blocks. The frame fits all AM5-socket motherboards (X670E, X670, B650E, B650, A620) and is compatible with Ryzen 7000, 8000-series APUs and Ryzen 9000-series CPUs. Installation reuses the stock retention screws.
